Home Sweet Home

This is 1 of 2 recent commissions I finished. This home portrait is to be a Christmas present, so I won't be posting it on my Facebook page. But I'm pretty sure my blog is ok, and I wanted to show what I've been working on.

This wonderful home was fun to paint. The client gave me a few different photos of the home (it's not close enough for me to drive by). I liked this particular one because I liked the inviting approach to the home. And, as with all my home portraits, I like the front door to be the "destination" for the viewers eye.

The original photo did not show the flowers, but the client did not mind my adding some. I thought the pops of color along the walkway and the front hedges were a nice touch to the scene. And they also helped to draw the eye to the front door.

About Me

Creating (anything) has always been a part of my life. My paintings attempt to capture moments in time, where an emotion or feeling was felt. It's all about capturing the visual expression that is found in life. I find it is a truly wonderful way to live.
